WTM - Responsible and Sustainable travel case study

The ChallengeThe World Travel Market is the leading global event for the travel industry. With sustainability and responsible travel becoming a focus for the holiday makers across the world, the organisers behind the WTM wanted to be able to understand and react to attitudes across the industry.

Our SolutionBecause we understand the challenges and the issues driving sustainability globally, SustainIt were able to create a series of questions that would allow us to build a detailed snapshot of the attitudes and initiatives taking hold across thetravel industry.

By having a physical presence at the exhibition, SustainIt were able to gather the data required to produce a comprehensive report in a thought-provoking and digestible format. This data demonstrated the current attitude towards sustainability in the travel industry, giving the WTM the opportunity to engage with their stakeholders.

BenefitProviding the WTM with an accurate snapshot of attitudes to sustainability, SustainIt were able to provide the WTM with the opportunity to create a real focus on sustainability and responsible travel to their key stakeholders.

With 22% of industry professionals unaware of whether their company even had a sustainability policy, the WTM’s commitment to kick starting the discussion on sustainability ensures they continue to be viewed as the biggest and most important global travel event.

As time passed, the aging plant was unable to keep up with increasing demands.ChallengesIn 2012, the District started working with Sunrise Engineering to find a solution that would work in their existing plant. Sunrise Engineering partnered with Aeration Industries International to upgrade the equalization basin, as well as the sludge digester/thickener.SolutionI...

The Earth’s population has more than quadrupled in the last 150 years, which has led to dramatic changes in the livestock industry because farmers had to increase the density of animals in order to meet demand. As a result of the increased proximity of animals to one another, disease became a huge problem. Subsequently, antibiotics began being commonly used on livestock farms.
Originally, antibiotics were only used to treat sick animals, however this led to the discovery that the drugs would also help...

Anaerobic digestion can help remove microplastics — a large cause of water pollution — during the sewage treatment process
Microplastics, or tiny fragments of plastic, include microbeads, the plastic pellets present in thousands of household and personal care products, including toothpaste, cosmetics, and beauty scrubs. They also include fragments from the breakdown of anything in our lives made out of plastic — even synthetic fabrics.
The surface of microplastic particles can host pathogenic...

For many years, hydrogen has been considered as an alternative to fossil fuels. Now, Scientists are aiming to develop an environmentally friendly method to produce hydrogen from biomass by optimizing anaerobic digestion systems.1
Climate change, dwindling fuel resources and energy prices have spearheaded intensive efforts to detect and optimize alternative fuel options. As a zero emission fuel, hydrogen is often believed to be the ultimate energy vector but despite this fact, hydrogen production can be harmful...
